C5S camera with External Filter wheel with M85 × 1 adapter Back Focal Distance

The stated back focal distances (BFD) include corrections for all optical elements in the light path (cold chamber optical window, sensor cover glass, ...), fixed in the camera body. So, stated values are not mechanical, but optical back focal distances. However, no corrections for filters are included, as the thicknesses of various filters are very different.

Hint:

Note the M85 × 1 adapter is also equipped with eight M3 threaded holes arranged around the 91 mm diameter circle. These threaded holes provide alternative mean of camera attachment to the optical system.
